Interstate Fleet Service is seeking an experienced Diesel Mechanic. We work in a 12-bay shop, heated and insulated, with no A/C. Only a small percentage of our jobs are customer drive-up one-off jobs. You get to know the equipment you’re working on and responsible for.

Traditionally speaking if you have an inquisitive mind and like to see success due to the effort of your handiwork, we want you to apply. Additionally, if you are more than inquisitive and hands-on, we need you as well. A lot of today’s trucks come in with warning lamps on (Engine, ABS, transmission, etc.) so we have to be able to first identify the truck system giving the error and then troubleshoot it from there. We’re looking for technicians experienced in computer diagnostics and electrical repair to keep up with the demand of today's fleets.

Full-Time Position - the tasks below are some examples of various job activities:
  • Diagnose warning lamps (Engine, ABS, transmission, or light the customer doesn’t even recognize).
  • Identify the truck system that is giving the error and then troubleshoot it from there.
  • Computer diagnostics and electrical repair.
  • Federal Inspections
  • Brake Jobs
  • Suspension Work
  • Hub and Axle Repair
  • Tire Repair
  • Regular Service and Maintenance

  • Required:
    • Experience: Applicants must have at least one (1) year of verifiable mechanic experience in a shop environment (automotive, heavy duty, or other form of transportation repair shop)
    • Basic Tools: Possession of a basic set of hand tools. Specialty tools may be provided by the company as needed
    • Valid Driver’s License: A valid state-issued driver’s license
    • Physical Requirements: Ability to lift at least 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform physically demanding tasks typical of diesel mechanic work
  • Preferred:
    • Two (2) total years of verified Diesel Mechanic experience in a shop environment
    • Experience with specific engine types (e.g., Cummins, Detroit Diesel) or systems (e.g., hydraulic, electrical) is preferred and may be given priority
    • Certification or degree in diesel repair
    • Experience with diagnostic tools such as Cummins Insite, Quickserve, Paccar’s Davie4, and Mack’s PTT
    • ASE Certifications: Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifications are preferred, especially in areas relevant to the position, such as Diesel Engines, Brakes, and Drivetrain
    • CDL (Commercial Driver's License - Class A or B) is not required, but may be considered a plus for road testing or moving vehicles within company or customer property
Benefits:
  • Health and Dental
  • Short-Term Disability
  • Life Insurance
  • 401k with matching up to 4% vesting at 2 years
  • Guardian Voluntary Benefits
  • Paid Holidays (6 per year)
